Research Abstract

In this study, we investigated the mechanism of radioresistance through radiation-induced extracellular ATP release and possibility of P2 receptor inhibitor as a novel radiosensitizer. We found extracellular ATP release after treatment of ^<131>I-labeled antibody and an involvement of P2Y_6 receptor in radioresistance. Moreover, we elucidated that the inhibitor of P2Y_6 receptor enhanced growth inhibition of cancer cells induced by ^<131>I-labeled antibody, suggesting P2Y_6 receptor inhibitor as a novel radiosensitizer.
